There are few truly unique musical artists, but the music made by Italy’s MASTER BOOT RECORD arguably exists in a category of its own. Today, the band announces their eighth full-length album, PERSONAL COMPUTER, and the brand-new single “80486DX”.Helmed solely by technologist/songwriter Victor Love, MASTER BOOT RECORD is, if anything, creatively prolific. The follow-up to Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020), PERSONAL COMPUTER is Love’s latest offering since emerging as an 8-bit ghost from the bulletin board system (BBS) scene in 2016. Now, he’s returned to right-click on devotees with yet another easter egg and symbolism-rich mélange of intensely ornate yet driving digital orchestrations. Just don’t call PERSONAL COMPUTER synthwave, or whatever new-fangled term is being used to describe MASTER BOOT RECORDS masterful video game-like scoring. To put it simply: this is metal done with a synth.PERSONAL COMPUTER Track Listing:1. 8086 – 5:052. 80186 – 8:533. 80286 – 5:464. 80386 – 6:305. 80386SX – 6:286. 80486 – 5:087. 80486DX – 4:328. 80486SX – 7:149. 80586 – 7:1610. 80686 – 7:29
